Any more tips when it comes to creating a realistic looking concrete surface?

Really battered old concrete items you see at the coast and on old military fortifications have a real character of their own after the years of neglect have taken their hold and weathered the concrete.

When it comes to making military vehicles look battered, theres lots of tips ranging from using marmite as a masking fluid for chipped paint, graphite powder for burnished iron parts, drybrushing silver on worn edges and a whole host of washes for making it look greasy, oily, dirty, plus the weathering powders for, dirt, dust, mud, and more rust...

Any good products for making that old scratchbuilt military bunker model look like it's been there for the last 60 years or so?

There's the obvioud sand, to build up a corroded surface, washes, drybrushing etc...what else? What other household products can we scrub, flick, or splatter?
